艺术美与生活美的关系问题,是文艺创作和文艺鉴赏实践中重大原则问题之一,也是美学和文论中基本理论问题之一,又是中外美学文论史上讨论最多而又歧见迭出的问题之一。西方文学史上19世纪德国古典美学集大成者黑格尔与俄国著名革命民主主义文学批评家、美学家车尔尼雪夫斯基的著名美学论争就是这方面的典型。我国古代美学文论史上虽无这个问题的系统理论阐释,但在文艺创作和鉴赏实践中仍然常常受到这个难题的困扰。我国明代著名学者诗人杨慎(1488—1559)曾记述过这样一件颇耐人寻思的事:"慎少时,先太师与瑞虹、龙崖二叔父看画。因问二叔父日:‘景之美者,人日似画,画之佳者,人日似真,孰为 The relationship between artistic beauty and life beauty is one of the major principles in literary and artistic creation and literary appreciation practice.

The famous aesthetics controversy between Hegel, a master of German classical aesthetics in the 19th century, and the Russian famous revolutionary democratic literature critic and esthetician Chernyshevsky, is typical in this respect. Although there is no systematic theoretical explanation of this issue in the history of ancient Chinese aesthetic literary theory, it is still often troubled by this difficult problem in the literary creation and appreciation practice. Yang Shen (1488-1559), a well-known scholar of the Ming Dynasty in our country, once described such a rather thought-provoking matter: ’King of the United States, people like painting, painting a good person, people look real, what is
